    The ABS light on my 1997 CRV was coming on intermittently and now is always
    on.
    I did search the web for an info and most are talking about oil leak or low
    level
    in ABS reservoir. I looked up in the owners manual and there is no mention
    about
    such a place except the regular brake fluid reservoir. My brake fluid level
    is OK.
    I would like to do the basic checks before I am taken for a ride by a
    dealer.
    If there is such a reservoir where is it located and are there any other
    basic
    diagnostics that I can do it myself ?

    Thanks.

    On my '95 Odyssey, the ABS unit has a lot of brake hoses running to it, and
    it does have a small reservoir on top. Mine failed, leaking. This does not
    affect braking, except that ABS does not work. Cost for the ABS was just
    under $1000 from a dealer. Yep, you heard that right. Plus labor to
    install, which is not a Do It Yourself. I left it alone, as far too
    expensive to repair. Your car may be different of course. Check
    http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/catdisplay.jsp for a
    breakdown of parts for your car to see where a reservoir (if any) may be.
